Gather all ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Ensure that fish has no scales or bones.
Cut ½ a sweet onion into radial julienne (which means very thinly by the lines you can see)
Core and cut the tomato into ¼-inch slices.
Cut the lemon into very thin slices, discarding any seeds. Reserve the ends to squeeze the lemon juice onto the fish. (May want extra lemon juice from another one).
Finely chop the herbs.
In a glass baking dish, layer the tomatoes on the bottom, then the onions, capers, olives, the lemon slices and some of the herbs.
Atop these ingredients, place the fish fillets about an inch apart.
Drizzle the fish with lemon juice and olive oil.
Sprinkle the fish with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Sprinkle the rest of the herbs on top.
Bake the fish at 350ºF until fish is cooked through and flakes easily. (Timing depends on thickness of the fish, but at least 20 minutes.
Safe temperature of fish fillets is 145ºF if you have a thermometer to check.
The fish plaki is delicious on its own or served with rice pilaf or orzo.
